Report from Washington
by congressman John T. Myers
Much has been written and said about the plight of our cities and the urgent need for increased attention to the problems of the urban areas. But just as important, it seems to me, is the rapidly deteriorating farm picture i n the United
States.
In this year of rising labor costs, agricluture will be the only sector of the economy to absorb a $1.5 billion pay cut. The recently announced 1968 feed grains program offers little hope for future improvement for the farmer. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I have had the opportunity to take a American farmer in the po-
close look at the many problems facing our farmers. One of the most alarming is the ris-
ing farm debt.
Since 1960, total farm debt increased 83 per cent. Farm debt at the end of this year will exceed the $50 billion mark, a
figure greater than the entire areas
sition of imminent financial
catastrophe.
This combination of debt and poor prices reflects the decline of rural communities. This year’s preliminary figures show a loss of 82,000 farms, creating further hardships for rural

past seven years have witnessed a drop of over six percentage points in the parity ratio, a 20 per cent increase in interest rates on real estate indebtedness, and a 31 per cent increase in the cost of production. This combination constitutes an econnomic threat to the future of U. S. agricluture and its pro-
ductive capacity.
Department of Agriculture tactics of attempting to paint a rosy picture of rising farm prices just does not hold water. With a projected $50 billion debt load and falling farm prices this year we will reach a point of absolute min for many more of our farmers who are strag-
gling for existence.
What disturbs me most is that these conditions have gotten no response from the Department of Agriculture. The lack of prompt attention by the Department of Agriculture to respond to falling farm prices
debt leaves a big black cloud hanging over the future of the most important sector of our economy, a sector that supplies this country and other nations of the world with all-important food and fiber. Increased inflation and rising interest rates in the next few years will cause many more families to move from the farm unless prompt action as taken to meet the challenge of falling farm prices and rising debt

By LOUIS CASSELS Every Sunday, about 300,000 sermons are delivered from America’s pulpits. Some have the power to move hearts, change minds and transform lives. But many are duds. What causes a sermon to mis-
fire?
A. R. Roalman, editor of Best Sermons magazine, has been brooding over this question. His conclusions carry some weight because he listens to or reads about 300 sermons a month—75 times as many as the average
faithful churchgoer.
One of the main reasons why sermons fail, he says, is that they don’t offer the listener any new insights or information.

facts, viewpoints and arguments that are already familiar to most of the congregation. It is small wonder that listeners find
such sermons boring.
“The human mind is not excited to attention by bland restatements of the obvious,”
Roalman observes.
At the opposite extreme, and equally deadly from the listener’s viewpoint, is the sermon that tries to cover too much ground. Instead of settling on one theme and developing it forcefully, the minister tries to cram four or five different ideas into a single discourse. Since there isn’t time in a 20-minute sermon nor even, heaven for- j fend, a 30-minute sermon to do justice to so many scattered ideas, he leaves the listener more bewildered than uplifted.

Such a sermon cannot be written hurriedly by a man who is harassed and distracted by I other duties. It can be produced ! only by a minister who has; learned to listen as well as talk, so that he will know what is really bugging his parishioners: and who has spent a lot of time reading, thinking and praying, in order to arrive at clear and forthright convictions.
